Let us help you, and the people you care about quit smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes
or stop chewing tobacco, for life.

Electronic Cigarettes are not a safe option

At the Georgia Cancer Center's cessation program, electronic-cigarettes or e-cigarettes
are not recommended as an alternative to conventional cigarettes nor as an aid to
quitting. They contain toxic chemicals and metals including: propylene glycol, formaldehyde,
cadmium, lead and nickel. The nicotine in electronic-cigarettes is especially harmful
to the developing brain of youth. They pose a health risk to the brain of a developing
baby, so pregnant women should avoid electronic-cigarettes.

Other health consequences of e-cigarettes include:

airway irritation

asthma

impaired lung function

E-cigarettesdo not emit "harmless water vapor." The secondhand aerosol contains nicotine, ultra-fine particles that lodge deep into
the lungs, and low levels of chemical and metal toxins that are known to cause cancer.
